Questions
How big is the Keyboard mini PCB?
It measures 96.9 × 67.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard mini use?
37 parts, built around the WS2812B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Keyboard mini KiCad files?
From the Thunkar/euk repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mini/pcb/keyboard-mini.kicad_pcb and its schematic mini/pcb/keyboard-mini.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keyboard mini design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Thunkar before reusing the design.
